Recipe Tips
- Oil – Any oil with a high smoke point will work great for this recipe. We love using vegetable oil, canola oil or coconut oil instead of avocado oil in this recipe.
- Cook Noodles – We recommend cooking the noodles before mixing with the other ingredients.
- Heat Skillet – Heat oil to cook the vegetables until they are tender. Cook the shrimp until they are no longer pink.
- Combining Ingredients – When combining the sauce and the other ingredients make sure you allow the sauce to simmer.
- Prepare Vegetables – If you like to meal prep for the week, we recommend preparing the vegetables. Clean and chop vegetables and store in a air tight container. This way you can easily cook the vegetables for a quick dinner idea.

This shrimp dish can easily be reheated in the microwave. We recommend heating the shrimp and noodle mixture separately. If reheating everything together, it could dry out the shrimp.
